An Old Favorite at Danji

I don't make it up to Hell's Kitchen nearly enough as I should. There are so many spots I still need to try out like Bar Bacon, The Marshal and of course Anejo from one of my favorite chefs Angelo Sosa. Yet when I found myself in the area just yesterday I immediately gravitated to my old haunt Danji. This cozy little spot churns out amazing Korean food like crunchy Fried Chicken Wings in both spicy and garlic honey flavors; the best Bulgogi Beef Sliders in the city and one of my favorite vegetarian plates of all time the Tofu with Ginger Scallion Dressing.

The tofu is lightly fried giving it a crispy warm exterior that gives way to such a silky smooth interior it can only be described as luxurious. Then it's all topped off with slivers of jalapeno, crunchy tempura flakes and a sweet & salty soy vinaigrette. This is an absolutely banging dish that I will always find hard passing up.Danji346 West 52nd between 8th & 9th AvenueNew York, NY 10019
